The beginning of a beautiful friendship
You're invited to the first of many Uncommon Book Club gatherings - a place for learning from community authors. Next week on 11/4, David Spinks will join us to discuss his book, The Business of Belonging. You can still register—we'd love to host you!
We also want to give a special shoutout to our customers and Uncommon community members who earned much-deserved nominations at the 2022 Community Industry Awards: Ale Murray (Confluent), Jenny Weigle (Jenny.Community, LLC), Joshua Zerkel (Asana), Stephanie Grice (Atlassian), and Willa Tellekson-Flash (Public.com). Congratulations 🎉

"Investing in customer education is a triple win: a win for customers who just started with a product, a win for businesses that have more successful customers who drive more revenue, and a win for society to help close the income and skills gaps."

Uncommon Support
We started Uncommon Support because we believe communities are strongest when they uplift one another. We ask every community expert to share a favorite nonprofit, and then we donate in their honor—Sandi chose YearUp, which provides job training and corporate internships to help close the opportunity divide as an alternate college pathway. |
